OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A tribal legislator is named in a seven-count indictment alleging his secretary took casino revenue from the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes.

The federal indictment alleges that Louella Oldbear, 55, lied when she said she wasn't aware that Roy Dean Bullcoming had purchased vehicles for himself and others using tribal money.

Besides a count of making false statements to an FBI agent, Oldbear was accused earlier of taking $15,000 from the tribes in 2003.

Bullcoming said last week's indictment was news to him.

He still awaits resentencing in a previous case in which he was convicted on 14 similar charges in tribal court.

Bullcoming had served about a year in jail after a tribal judge convicted him in September 2005 of 14 embezzlement charges. Those convictions involve $55,000 he took directly from the tribes' casino in Watonga.

The judge imposed jail terms totaling three and a half years.

An appeals court ordered a new sentencing hearing in late 2006, saying the judge failed to give Bullcoming a chance to present information that might have reduced his sentence.

Bullcoming remains in office.

Oldbear is the latest of several Cheyenne and Arapaho employees and elected officials to be indicted on financial misappropriation charges.

Tribal legislator Vera Franklin was indicted in March on charges of using $7,000 in tribal money for a personal car in 2002 and 2003, when she was an elected business committee member.

The tribes' former chairman, James Pedro, is serving a 30-month prison sentence for embezzling about $200,000. His wife and secretary also received prison terms.
